Mars is frequently victimized by giant dust storms that occasionally take the shape of cyclones. It is unknown whether [[Native Martians]] are the sole cause of these storms, or if they occur naturally. Most of Mars appears to be a desert, although a large river and waterfall, as well as a lush jungle, is depicted in "[[Mars University]]".
